Educational & easy-to consume visual guides to understanding attacks & enhancing resilience
At the end of August 2025, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) experienced a major cyber incident when unusual activity prompted the company to shut down its UK plants in Halewood and Solihull. By 2 September, JLR formally confirmed its systems were offline globally. A few days later, on 10 September, the company disclosed that some data had been compromised and regulators notified. This attack has further amplified the growing trend of cyber-crime in the UK — one that now stretches beyond retail into manufacturing, where operational downtime can translate into millions in lost revenue and shattered customer trust.
Explore our in-depth timeline that breaks down how this devastating attack unravelled and the impact that ensued, not just on JLR but its employees, customers and the entire automotive supply chain. And remember to not wait until your operations are paralysed with a cyber attack of similar proportions.
